Wieso, Weshalb, Warum?Frequently Asked Questions

Can anyone play?

Touch is a sport that is played by all ages and sexes. In Frankfurt we have many levels of players from beginners to life long touch players. Competition varies from local games for fun to national and international levels.

What are the training days and times?

Training times are announced via our email distribution list. We offer regular training sessions during the week as well as on Sunday afternoons.

Do I have to become a member?

You can join the team at any time during the season. After a trial period of 4 weeks we kindly ask you to join the club. Please fill out the membership form and make a payment of 40 EUR to our club account.

I'm just in Frankfurt for a few weeks, can I come and play?

Visiting players who are in Frankfurt for a limited time only are asked to make a donation to the club and can be exempt from paying regular membership fees. Please contact a club official.

What do I need?

For the first few games you don’t need anything, in the future you may need a pair of shoes with grip. Football or hockey boots do a good job for most players.

What is Turbo Touch?

Turbo Touch is the fast-paced indoor version of traditional Touch played between October and March. The ball can be passed in any direction and you lose possession after 2 touches.
